With respect to cardio, forget about steady state exercising. Instead, use intense (therefore, brief) exercise such as GXP (Graded Exercise Protocol) or HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). With respect to resistance training, use perfect exercise technique with the highest resistance possible. Moderate intensity won't stimulate muscular growth.
Alternate Perspective:
If you really want to stick with moderate physical activity, be aware that you are not likely to gain much mass or strength; these qualities arise from pushing your body through its limitations and re-setting the bar. Moderately-intense physical activity is, however, great for building cardiovascular endurance and developing better toning for existing muscle; there are other medical benefits to this as well. Most sources recommend at least 20 minutes per day (minimum) of moderate physical activity, with recommended averages reaching the 60 minute mark. If you engage in high-intensity exercise as suggested in the answer above, that time certainly counts toward the 20-minute minimum.

What should you be able to do while performing a moderately intense activity?
This question cannot be answered without more information. Moderately intense activity is not an unambiguously defined term: different people might consider different activities to qualify.But beyond that, what qualifies as "should be able to do"?

Is oxygen debt a legitimate medical condition?
Oxygen debt is not a condition but rather a medical term that refers to the amount of oxygen that is lost during intense physical activity and needs to be replenished. This loss or debt of oxygen is replenished by heavy breathing that occurs during intense physical activity or when the physical activity ceases.
What happens to a muscle cell during intense physical activity?
During intense physical activity, a muscle cell undergoes increased contraction and relaxation cycles. This leads to the breakdown of ATP to provide energy for muscle contractions. Additionally, there is an increased demand for oxygen and nutrients to support the cellular functions and remove waste products such as lactic acid.

What happens to your muscle cells during intense physical activity?
During intense physical activity, glycogen; which is energy stored in muscle cells, is used during intense muscle contractions.
